THOUGHTS AS TROOPS FOR TOMPOLO, By Enewaridideke Ekanpou

By: Enewaridideke Ekanpou

Troops trained track treason beyond trace without trading like that tempted trooper.

Sometimes trained troops trade and trail their commanders to retirement from earth.

It is futile to send trained troops that are traitorous.

A trained but tempted trooper once traded off jewelleries meant for Ayakoromo .

This I have known for decades.

I know your camp campaign to counter and conquer traitorous troops.

For you I am therefore sending trained troops.

These trained troops are grounded in how to track nets of treason and lies woven around you like waiting ‘kpantainkpantain’ web of spider.

These trained troops shall not trade like that trained trooper sent to Ayakoromo.

Despatched to you are the best trained troops anywhere on earth.

These are the trained troops with ten tentacles and talons to tackle traitorous trail of any type camouflaged.

These trained troops know neither fatigue nor aging because they have swallowed the pill of agelessness and indefatigability.

These trained troops are ready to camp anywhere there is job, even if it means journeying nightly to reconnoitre that numbered camp.

I mean that numbered camp now turned a celebrated history in Ekanpou ‘s camp four.

These trained troops are my thoughts carried by poems, novels, plays and essays as the Akparemogbene-made dugout canoe of iroko.
